Objective: Objective: to analyze the experience lived in primary care by pregnant adolescents during prenatal care at a Health Unit in Ceilândia, Brasília, Brazil. Method: The study used a qualitative approach and the phenomenological method. Data collection was done through interviews with previously selected adolescents who met the inclusion criteria. Confidentiality and data accuracy were ensured. Results: The final data are presented in 6 categories. It brought to light that adolescent pregnancy is still a problem that affects the forming identity of adolescents and that the lack of adherence to health promotion programs by this group still exists, requiring a more specialized and capable approach to address the health needs of this population. Conclusion: Care in this circumstance demands special attention, therefore, trained healthcare professionals should be involved in this situation, seeking to establish bonds with the adolescent and, through reflection with her, her partner, and family members, find strategies to minimize problems.
